Mission and Values: The Women’s Resource Center (WRC) empowers survivors by providing trauma informed services with equity and compassion while working collaboratively with the community to eliminate the root causes of interpersonal abuse.


The Board of Directors exemplifies the WRC’s core values:

Equity and Justice: Ending interpersonal abuse requires addressing the underlying systems and inequities that contribute to oppression. These systems are a root cause of domestic violence and must be eliminated to create thriving communities.

Authenticity and Integrity: We serve with authenticity, fulfilling our duties in an ethical, transparent, and accountable manner.

Partner with the Executive Director to set, approve, and periodically assess strategic and succession plans. Hire, monitor, evaluate annually, and if necessary, release the Executive Director.
